Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

Albert J. Becker focuses on Epilepsy, Neuroscience, Pathology, Temporal lobe and Hippocampal formation. His research on Epilepsy focuses in particular on Hippocampal sclerosis. Albert J. Becker has included themes like Neuropathology, Epilepsy surgery and Pediatrics in his Hippocampal sclerosis study.

His work on Channelopathy, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Excitatory postsynaptic potential as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Sodium channel, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work on Pathology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as In situ hybridization. As a part of the same scientific study, Albert J. Becker usually deals with the Hippocampal formation, concentrating on Status epilepticus and frequently concerns with Pilocarpine, Neuron and Microarray.

His most cited work include:

  • The clinicopathologic spectrum of focal cortical dysplasias: A consensus classification proposed by an ad hoc Task Force of the ILAE Diagnostic Methods Commission (1092 citations)
  • DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours (733 citations)
  • Acquired Dendritic Channelopathy in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (383 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Epilepsy, Neuroscience, Pathology, Hippocampal formation and Temporal lobe. In his study, Verbal memory is strongly linked to Hippocampus, which falls under the umbrella field of Epilepsy. His study on Epileptogenesis, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Channelopathy is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Neuroscience.

The concepts of his Pathology study are interwoven with issues in Cortical dysplasia and Cancer research. His work deals with themes such as Gene expression and Cell biology, which intersect with Hippocampal formation. His Tuberous sclerosis study incorporates themes from TSC1 and Exon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Epilepsy (41.85%)
  • Neuroscience (30.74%)
  • Pathology (31.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Epilepsy (41.85%)
  • Neuroscience (30.74%)
  • Pathology (31.11%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Epilepsy, Neuroscience, Pathology, Hippocampal formation and Limbic encephalitis are his primary areas of study. His Epilepsy research integrates issues from Genetics and Hippocampus. His Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Phenotype, Signal transduction, Transcriptional regulation and Disease.

His Pathology research includes elements of DNA methylation, Occipital lobe epilepsy, Glioma, Epilepsy in children and Mutation Carrier. Albert J. Becker has researched Hippocampal formation in several fields, including Extracellular, Biophysics, Free recall, Neuropil and Synapse. His studies deal with areas such as T cell, CD8, Epilepsy surgery and Pediatrics as well as Hippocampal sclerosis.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Blood-brain barrier dysfunction in aging induces hyperactivation of TGFβ signaling and chronic yet reversible neural dysfunction (35 citations)
  • Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study (21 citations)
  • Anti-epileptogenic and Anti-convulsive Effects of Fingolimod in Experimental Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (15 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His main research concerns Epilepsy, Neuroscience, Pathology, Hippocampal sclerosis and Hippocampal formation. His work on Status epilepticus and Epileptogenesis as part of general Epilepsy study is frequently linked to Task force, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Transforming growth factor, Signal transduction, Transcriptional regulation and Disease.

His work carried out in the field of Pathology brings together such families of science as Astrocytoma, Glioma and MYB. He usually deals with Hippocampal sclerosis and limits it to topics linked to Epilepsy surgery and Vascular malformation, Pediatrics, Retrospective cohort study, Young adult and Cortical dysplasia. His Hippocampal formation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Autoantibody, Hippocampus, Cerebrospinal fluid and Temporal lobe.
